After she and her husband Sam eliminated over $460,000 in debt (including $280,000 in student loans), Jade discovered that personal finance isn't about spreadsheets and calculations&mdash;it's about the lies we tell ourselves and the behaviors we refuse to change. That insight became her bestselling book Money's Not a Math Problem and the foundation of her coaching philosophy: 80% of financial success is behavior, only 20% is knowledge. Today, Jade brings a no-nonsense, straight-talk approach to helping people confront the real reasons they're broke&mdash;not their income, not their circumstances, but their mindset.</p> <p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">➡️ Show Links</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jadewarshaw/">https://www.instagram.com/jadewarshaw/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://x.com/JadeWarshaw/">https://x.com/JadeWarshaw/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">➡️ Podcast Sponsors</p> <p dir="ltr">Hubspot - <a href="https://hubspot.com/">https://hubspot.com/</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">ShipStation - <a href="https://www.shipstation.com/">https://www.shipstation.com/</a> (Code: SuccessStory)</p> <p dir="ltr">Square - <a href="https://square.com/go/success">https://square.com/go/success</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">SurveyMonkey - <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/scott">https://www.surveymonkey.com/scott</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Monarch Money - <a href="https://www.monarchmoney.com">https://www.monarchmoney.com</a> (Code: Success)</p> <p dir="ltr">Claude - <a href="https://claude.ai/success">https://claude.ai/success</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Huel - <a href="https://huel.com/scott">https://huel.com/scott</a> (Code: scott)</p> <p dir="ltr">NetSuite &mdash; <a href="https://netsuite.com/scottclary/">https://netsuite.com/scottclary/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Indeed - <a href="https://indeed.com/clary">https://indeed.com/clary</a></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">➡️ Talking Points</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A">00:00</a> &ndash; Intro</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=88s">01:28</a> &ndash; Money Isn&rsquo;t Just Math</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=300s">05:00</a> &ndash; Jade&rsquo;s Money Wake-Up Call</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=769s">12:49</a> &ndash; Facing Massive Debt</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=1154s">19:14</a> &ndash; Sponsor Break</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=1317s">21:57</a> &ndash; Money Meets Emotion</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=1490s">24:50</a> &ndash; The Mindset That Frees You</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=1818s">30:18</a> &ndash; Why We Self-Sabotage</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=2160s">36:00</a> &ndash; Protecting Love From Money</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=2429s">40:29</a> &ndash; Sponsor Break</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=2579s">42:59</a> &ndash; Fixing Relationship Tensions</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=3180s">53:00</a> &ndash; Debt-Free Tips for Couples</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlzFV63YH7A&amp;t=3367s">56:07</a> &ndash; Jade&rsquo;s #1 Money Lesson</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Randolph also highlights why no idea is ever &ldquo;good&rdquo; at the start, how iteration reveals what truly works, and why the most successful founders are the ones who stay creative, persistent, and relentlessly curious in the face of uncertainty.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">➡️ Show Links</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://successstorypodcast.com">https://successstorypodcast.com</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/56MoLUKPJDs">https://youtu.be/56MoLUKPJDs</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marc-randolph-co-founder-first-ceo-of-netflix/id1484783544">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marc-randolph-co-founder-first-ceo-of-netflix/id1484783544</a>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4iVWv3gIfsdRcBMeU2nbEV">https://open.spotify.com/episode/4iVWv3gIfsdRcBMeU2nbEV</a>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary">https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary</a></p>
